The second view includes the Upper Yellowstone and the bay in which it empties. The third and fourth are looking east and northeasterly across the southern arms of the lake and Promontory Point to the distant mountains on the farther side. No. 5, or the last of the series , is a view south, past Promontory Point, into the large open space of the lake, where it fades away into the horizon.
